SEATTLE Exterminators

The little black ants always come out when the weather starts to turn cold. When the rainy season comes, it comes out. Ants leave their homes in the soil and make their way up to the surface when temperatures go over 65 degrees Fahrenheit. They usually start at night and will escape from cracks, like gaps between window and door frames, or any other small spaces. Ants will move higher up into the branches of trees, near water sources such as ponds, lakes, or streams.

They also forage for food on warm nights. Ants will eat anything that they can; we recommend not leaving food out on surfaces that ants can access, such as counters or floors. This includes fruits and vegetables even if they are peeled! Ants need a source of sugar so store jams, honey, or any other sweet foods in a sealed container where they won’t be easily accessible to them.

When ants become a problem in the home, the best way to control them is to eliminate their food source. Eliminate crawling insects and plant tubers that attract ants because they are high in fat and sugar content. Keep indoor plants clean and away from window and door frames.

Seattle exterminators companies approach carpenter ant problems differently. Locate the nest and selectively treat only in specific areas. Drilling and dusting as many potential wall voids and nesting sites as possible is an old ineffective method. Most companies also apply a perimeter spray treatment around the outside foundation of the home in an effort to temporarily prevent access to the building. If no effort is made to locate the nests or probable nest areas, the problem will most likely continue.

Household ant infestations are so common that ant exterminators are the most in-demand type of pest professional.

Despite the huge number of ant control products on the market, homeowners and businesses call on pest control professionals to help them eliminate all species of ants.

Why? Well, there are a number of benefits to hiring an ant exterminator.

• Custom Tailored Approach. There are many species of ants that can choose to make a home or business the location of their nests. Different types of ants are best eliminated with different techniques, and on top of that, each commercial building and residence presents its own unique set of challenges to effective pest control.

Ant pest control specialists create complete custom tailored plans for each extermination that is uniquely designed for the type of ant and the pests’ location. An everyday homeowner or business owner simply doesn’t have the knowledge and experience needed to create a similar plan with the one-size-fits-all DIY pest control products on the market today.

• Higher Level of Safety. Even DIY ant pest control products that a person can buy in a hardware store or home improvement center can be dangerous if used improperly. An ant exterminator knows how to safely use insecticides to kill ants when necessary and will let the home or business owner know if people and pets can safely remain in the home or commercial building during and after the treatment.

• Identification of Causes. Pest control professionals don’t just determine what types of ants are present in the building and where they are located; they also figure out how they are getting in.

Ant exterminators can help business owners and homeowners better secure their properties to keep ants out in the future.

• Better Success Rate. Because ant exterminators have access to the best ant pest control products and the knowledge needed to best deal with infestations, consumers have a much better chance of having ants completely exterminated the first time when they leave the job up to a pro.

• Cost-Saving Potential. Even though professional ant pest control services cost more than DIY products, many homeowners and business owners end up having to try multiple products before they’re able to successfully deal with ants. In the end, the combined cost of all of these products often comes close to the cost of hiring a professional.

• Maintenance Support. Ant exterminators will recommend maintenance services to keep ants away when they are needed, making it possible to keep homes and businesses free of the pests.
